Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1197299A2] A fuel cell adapter system for a combustion tool (10) which includes a housing (11) enclosing a fuel metering valve (13). The fuel cell (14) is provided with an adapter (16) having a generally cylindrical nozzle (20) and a base (22) configured for engagement upon the fuel cell (14). The nozzle (20) has a free end (24) and defines a passageway (26). A frangible membrane (28) is provided for blocking the passageway (26). The adapter (16) also has a gripping formation (40) that is configured for engagement with a latch, so that the adapter (16) is accommodated in the housing (11) in fluid communication with the fuel metering valve (13). The latch is disposed in the housing (11) for releasably securing the adapter (16) in fluid communication with the fuel metering valve (13). The latch includes a latch body having at least one locking tang movable between a closed position and an open position, and a release member for moving the locking tang to release said engagement with the adapter and permitting withdrawal of said fuel cell (14) from said tool (10). <IMAGE>
